Chilli Types (Scoville Scale)
See where our different chilli varieties sit on the Scoville Scale.
The Scoville Scale is a measurement of the pungency (the 'heat') of a chilli pepper and is based on the typical concentration of capsaicinoids found in the chilli.
The scale is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU).
As a reference, your typical capsicum comes in at 0 SHU, while some of the hottest chillis in the world, like the Carolina Reaper, come in at up to 2,200,000 SHU.
